The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

    Season 6 delayed, so here is some old content you may like instead.

    DICE announced today that they have had to push Season 6 for Battlefield 2042 back by a month. That means Season 6 will now be out in October instead of September as initially planned. That also means that there is now a gap between the end of Season 5 and the start of Season 6.

    Assassin's Creed Mirage Releasing a Week Earlier

    Hurrah for a change in release date that isn't a delay.

    Games like Skull & Bones and Beyond Good and Evil 2 may have given Ubisoft a bit of a bad reputation for lengthy game delays. So it comes as a bit of a shock today when Ubisoft revealed that the next Assassin's Creed title is not delayed, but rather being released a week earlier than expected.

    Assassin's Creed Mirage, Ubisoft's more tightly focused Assassin's Creed sequel, will now release on October 5. This is...

    South Park: Snow Day! is a Newly Announced Co-op Game

    Engage in four-player co-op action in the town of South Park.
    ​
    THQ Nordic and Question Games just announced South Park: Snow Day! this past week. This new entry is not a sequel to the popular South Park: The Stick of Truth RPG, or its follow-up South Park: The Fractured but Whole. This game is instead a four-player co-op title. Snow Day looks like it's going to be a third-person brawler/shooter, which is obviously quite the departure from the RPG stylings of the previous games....

    EA Closing Servers for Crysis 3, Dead Space 2, and Dante's Inferno

    Let's be real: Nobody knew the servers for these were still live anyway.

    If you are still playing the online components for Crysis 3, Dead Space 2, or Dante's Inferno, I've got some bad news for you. First off, it's 2023 and there was a really bad pandemic that started in 2020 (technically it was 2019, but shut up). Secondly, the online servers for those three games are being shut down starting in September.

    It's AAAA vs WB.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
